Jack, I saw those, as well as the replica noses, and like all things F1 memorabilia-related, I was interested. They just seemed a little over-priced for their size. I think I'd rather pay up for a 1/1 or 1/2 version. My $.02 |

It must be from Schumi's car, since it's also missing the "Let Michael Pass" flashing light. |

I notice there is no "mute" button.
Guess that isn't needed if one doesn't carry passengers. 
That replica wheel is a cool find and the poster is not half bad either! |

Looks like you've got just about everything. I remember seeing something about the wheel, and the team wouldn't divulge what some of the controls were for. Sometimes they use redundant dials for operation by either hand. |

I should have mentioned, the information I posted here is from "Autosport" 16/Jan/1997, describing the controls on the F310B Formula One car. |

2)Gearchange lights
3)Pitlane speed limiter
4)Neutral button
5)Radio
6)Scroll for display screens
7)Gearchange paddle
8)Clutch paddle
9)Engine mixture
10)Brake bias
11)Rev program
12)Drive-by-wire
13)Clutch
14)Differential |

I'm glad it's not on my wall. I'd stare at the damned thing for hours. Fascinating, being able to study what those guys have milliseconds to operate.
My interest in racing grows every time I see something like this. |

Cool poster DES!
And good deal too Did MOMO gave it to its authorized dealers? And what year was it printed? |

Was in a car store and saw this poster... Asked the guy if i could have... He went into the back to consult his boss; while he was back there i figured if he comes out and says no, i'll offer him ten bucks for it... He came out and said, "Five bucks...?"
"Done."
And now it's on my wall... SUHWEET...!
This thing is huge, too... It measures 36" across and just over 2 feet high... i had to move 4 pictures just to put this one up - i had no room on any other wall...! |
